LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT. In the Senate to-day Mr. Bayard, of the com- malttee appointed to wait upon the President to 4 ascertain whether he h&d any further commu- nications to make to the Senate, reported that the committee had performed its duty and that the President had stated that he had no further communications to make. Thereupon Mr. Pendleton offered a resolution declaring that when the Senate adjourn to-day it shall stand adjourned sine die. Mr. Ingalls objected to the present consideration of the resolution, and it ‘wes laid aside for the time being, Mable, how- ever, to be called up at any moment. fhe Senate then, at 12:10, went into execu- tive session. Closing Scenes at the Capitol. OFFICE SEEKERS ON THE ANXIOUS BENCH. ‘The corridors surrounding the Senate cham- ber and the galleries were filledto-day. Tae occupants of the galleries were spectators, who wanted to see the last of the special s2sston; butthe throngs in the corridors contatned numerous applicants for offize, and the anxiety with which they inquired about the probability of more nominations being sent in andthe eagerness they displayed 1n gras} at rum- ors demonstrated that the lotof the office- seeker 1s not by any means a happy one. Woen the special committee appointed to inquire of the President what er business ne had reported that he had nothing more, numerous countenances turned pale. Those who were hoping that their names would be sent in wo- day for places they had sought were amazed. After the Senate had been in executive session halt an hour or so a report was Circulated that a“big batch” of nominations had gone in. Then there Was & race to the table in the sec- retary’s office where the duplicate sheets were spread; but the hopeful ones were doomed to atother disappointment, as only three nomi- nations were in the “big batch.” ‘ i Nominatiors To-day. The President sent the following nomina- Uonsto the Senate to-day: Willard B. Wells, of Michigan, to be United States consul at Rot- tercam. M. B. Wharton, of Goorgia, to be cousul at Sonneberg, and James D. Watson to be post master at Sparta, Mis. Confirmations To-day.

The nomination of Wm. E. Chandler to be So icitor General was fixed for early considera- tion in the executive session to-day. It was reported from the judiclary committee without recommendation and was the last of the con- tested nominations, The democrats were all opposed to Mr. Chandler, and several repubil- cabs had some time ago declared their purpose to vote against him; but because of solid de:no- cratic opposition the case was made, to a con- Siderable extent, a party one though it was generally understood that Senator Edmunds was paired against him. The two Pennsylvant. Senators last night informed Mr. Caaniler’. frlends positively that they would vote again: him. Inepite of this strong opposition, how. ever, Mr, Chandler's supporters determined to make a stubborn fight In his behalf, though some of them admitted that they had 20 hop of contirming him.

A SENATE SUB-COMMITTER TO INVESTIGATE IT. The following sub committee was this morn- ing appointed by the Vice Pres‘dent, under the resolution of Senator Ransom, to investigate the Potomac flats: Senators Ransom (chalr- man) Jones of Nevada, Kellogg, Conger and Vest. The resolution, as adopted, was as fol- lows: “That the committee on commerce be, and it is hereby, instructed to inquire into the condition of the Potomac river front of the city of Washington and of the navigability of said river, the effect of briages across the same upon navigation, floods, and the health of the city, and report at the next session of the Senate what steps, if any, ought, in its opinion, to be taken in reference thereto; that” sald committee be authorized to sit during the Tecess of the Senate, and, if necessary, to em- ploy a stenographer.” A Stak reporter inquired of Senator Ransom about the scope of the committee's work. He replied that it will make a complete and thorough investigation of all matters relating to the river front, and especialiy- with the view of ascertaining and reporting plans to relieve Wasbington of the unhealthy flats, and make it the healthiest city in the union; also, to recover government ground, and to ‘make such improvements in navigation as are needa The committee will be called to meet tn Wasi ington about the 1st of July, and Senator Ran- Som feels confident that its work will induce Congress, next winter, to remove the only plague spot of the city. The Case of Col. McClure. Edilor Stav:—It 13 stated that the nomina- tion of Col. McClure, to be Paymaster General, which, it is sald, was made out and ready tog to the Senate yesterday, was stopped in conse- quence of information given the President that Col. McClure’s accounts were skort some twenty thousand dollars. This information, it is understood, of alleged deticit in his accounts [sodeat from parties not friendly to his pro- motion. It is claimed by Coi. MeClure and his friends (and they are not a few) that he 1s not in arrears in his accounts; that he is one of the most eftictent and faithtul officers in his pore that he has been thrice promoted for faithful and meritorious services; that during the war he handled over one hundred million dollars of the government’s funds without the loss of a dollar, and that in a service of nearly a quarcer of a century he has never had to meet a charge or complaint in regard to the discharge of his Cfficial duties, and that the only foundation for the alleged deficit in his accounts arises trom certain alleged transfer of monies nearly twenty years ago, which he insists never took Pace, and which is now toe subject of a judi- «tal Investigation in the Court of Claims, under a special act of Congress, procured by himself." Col. McClure’s status of duty has Lever been interrupted, and the President 1s not likely to take action to his prejudice ou aay ex parte presentment. Nominations Confirmed.
